1. Blend the cod, prawns, spring onions, curry paste, ginger, fish and soy sauces and coriander in a food processor until broken down but not smooth.
2. Using slightly wet hands, shape this mixture evenly into 20 oval-shaped fish cakes. Thread each 1 onto the end of the lemongrass sticks.
3. Preheat the grill to medium. Brush a grill rack with a little oil and put the fish cakes on it in one straight line. Lay a piece of foil across the bare lemon grass sticks to stop them from burning. Brush the fish cakes with the remaining oil and pop under the grill for 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through and golden. Transfer to a serving platter.
4. Meanwhile, mix the sweet chilli sauce and lime juice and serve as a dipping sauce, with lime wedges.

Chef's tip

If you can’t get lemongrass, use wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes to avoid burning.
